Mediated Interfaces: The Body on Social Media de Katie Warfield

Mediated Interfaces: The Body on Social Media

Editat de Katie Warfield, Crystal Abidin, Carolina Cambre
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 dec 2021
Images of faces, bodies, selves and digital subjectivities abound on new media platforms like Snapchat, Instagram, YouTube, and others-these images represent our new way of being online and of becoming socially mediated. Although researchers are examining digital embodiment, digital representations, and visual vernaculars as a mode of identity performance and management online, there exists no cohesive collection that compiles all these contemporary philosophies into one reader for use in graduate level classrooms or for scholars studying the field. The rationale for this book is to produce a scholarly fulcrum that pulls together scholars from disparate fields of inquiry in the humanities doing work on the common theme of the socially mediated body. The chapters in Mediated Interfaces: The Body on Social Media represent a diverse list of contributors in terms of author representation, inclusivity of theoretical frameworks of analysis, and geographic reach of empirical work. Divided into three sections representing three dominant paradigms on the socially mediated body: representation, presentation, and embodiment, the book provides classic, creative, and contemporary reworkings of these paradigms.

Recenzii

This book brings together powerful essays by both established and emerging researchers of digital media, corporeality and embodiment. International and interdisciplinary in scope, Mediated Interfaces works through the political, cultural and social ways we can begin to understand how bodies are represented online, how our sense of embodiment is now shaped in conjunction with our digital experiences and how digital media intersects with the politicisation of gendered, raced, sexualised and aged bodies. From naked bodies online to the body of the child as a gaming influencer, this collection covers the broadest range of approaches to thinking through our new digital corporealities. Warfield, Cambre and Abidin have provided us with a thoughtful arrangement of original work that will help us navigate the growing scholarship on bodies and social media. For scholars, students and the public who wish to make sense of new ways in which we can think about bodies and media in the 2020s, this should be the first stop and will provide the best possible roadmap for an increasingly complex scholarly terrain.
Mediated Interfaces presents key concepts from some of the most innovative social media researchers working today. With its truly international, interdisciplinary, and multi-platform scope, this curated collection reaffirms the importance of the body as a site of analysis for understanding digital practices. In clear and accessible prose, this volume's contributors recognize the complexities of embodied technological performances on sites that run the gamut from BaiduBBS to YouTube. As they curate a wide variety of scholarly voices, the editors have created a rich interpretive apparatus with which to question naïve assumptions about how bodies are constituted as essential entities, metaphysical beings, tool users, or media interfaces. Anyone interested in the politics, material conditions, or affective investments of social media should consider this book required reading.
This edited collection presents a wealth of insights into diverse social histories and digitally-mediated practices. The chapters draw a bow of emerging social practices across different ways of reading the body becoming in social media. The book is at times feisty, conceptual and diverse, offering crunchy nuggets for the contemplative reader. You will not be left empty handed.
Combining the theoretical with the ethnographic, the serious and the playful, the multi-disciplinary and the multi-sited, Mediated Interfaces takes us on an exciting journey into digital lives and affective relations with social media technologies, which are as embodied as they are political.
Accessibly written with a playful yet serious tone that allows the thinking through of the multiple kinds of "inter"faces that we encounter in contemporary daily life. The socio-political implications are engaged effectively in this quick overview of how mediated interfaces are "smart objects" are "automated connections between everyday physical objects to the Internet." This book is a must for anyone researching online social media or contemporary youth and media or most anything to do with media. Kudos to the authors!
